A Truck question

I own a Dodge Mega cab with a limited slip rear end. The limited slip started grabbing a little about the time it said in the owners book for a fluid change. Changed the fluid and added 2 bottles of the limited slip additive. To make a long story short it is still grabbing from time to time. Not bad but you can feel it.
Should I add a 3rd bottle of fluid and see if it stops it completely.

Charging problem

My 2003 rancher has been having problems charging. It starts and idles fine but when I rev it up it stays at the same volts it was when it was idling which was about 12 volts. Could it still be the stator, even when it starts fine?

What caused this ???

Hey guys. this all started with a squeak coming out of my wife’s rear end ( insert joke here ) and decided to take a look. I removed rear lug plate cover and then removed rear cover and saw the wear marks on the drum cover. The drum cover shows the cracking and the overall texture is rough from the cracking as seen in pics
I plan on replacing the brake shoes and drum cover ( on order ),

Any input would be helpful, thanks

I tried to attach files hopefully they come thru

Anyone ever buy a Warn Provantage 54″ plow kit for their Sportsman?

I’m only wondering because i wan’t to hear other ppeoples experiences with them since mine wasn’t very good. Some of my complaints were that the little cheap plastic half a pulley slider for the winch rope snapped first shot, the spot the plow mounts to on the quad is very flimsy if you don’t already have a warn provantage winch mount, and lastly i smoked a winch and almost smoked the computer in my quad because there was so much strain on the winch from the poorly designed lift system that it cracked the winch spool and pulled the bracket forward which caused the positive terminal to contact the frame and short out the computer. Think of it this way if you wanted to lift a weight would you (A.) put it on a rope lying on the ground and ask two guys to tug on the ends to lift it up in the air or (B.) tie the rope around the top of the weight and lift it straight up? Well the warn plow design was option (A.) sadly, let me know if anyone else experienced the same issues.
